Blog Tour – An Armored Heart by RC Boldt

RULE #1: Do not catch feelings for the man who doesn’t believe in love.

An Armored Heart by RC Boldt is now live! 

Four months. That’s how long I’ll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham’s doting girlfriend.

I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He’s doing it because he needs someone outside his “social circle” to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.

Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele’s ego rivals his net worth.

Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

He’s a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there’s no chance he’ll ever love me.

He can’t.

After all, he’s the man with an armored heart.

Review – Kissing My Brother’s Bride by Molly McLain

Kissing My Brother’s Bride; The Kissing Games #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: June 1, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Forbidden/Best Friends-to-Lovers/Contemporary Romance

Author: Molly McLain

Review Rating: 4.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A sweet, friends-to-lovers, contemporary romance.

Audrey was supposed to marry Lincoln West, but when he backed out Audrey realizes that perhaps it was meant to be and that she was really meant to be with the other West brother, Liam who is her best friend, all along. The biggest problem she now faces is that she’s built up a life with and around Lincoln, so will her friends, her new found family with the West’s, will they forgive the tangled mess that will now involve Liam?

Liam, Lincoln’s brother, has been best friends with Audrey from the beginning of their relationship, and they have always kept their relationship in the friend zone. However, once his brother screws up the best thing he ever had, all bets are off and Liam is ready to make his move. Liam has waited on the sidelines long enough, so when Aubrey says she’s ready, he’s no longer waiting. While he did keep their relationship in the friendzone, he also kept his true feelings simmering in the background.

This book is a long, slow burn, due mainly to the nature of their relationships. It did involve his brother after all, but once they do give in, it’s steamy and the relationship quickly takes off, it just takes a long time to get there.

Synopsis:

My brother’s fiancée should have been mine.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, and it’s not quite as bad as it sounds. Linc was running late for their first date and he begged me to stand in until he could get there.

I only went to tell the girl to run. To warn her about my brother’s selfish ways and promise she wanted no part of it.

But then I saw her. The stunning woman with auburn hair, sky blue eyes, and freckles I wanted to memorize.

The hour I spent with Audrey was hands down the best date of my life. Until my brother showed up.

Now, I’m covering his butt again. This time at their wedding rehearsal, because Linc hasn’t learned a damn thing. Work still comes first and that says a lot, doesn’t it?

So, sure… I’ll hold Audrey’s hand at the altar. And I’ll look into her eyes and wish like hell she would realize she deserves so much more.

I should have told her to run that night two and half years ago. Because all I want to do now is what I wasn’t bold enough to do then…

Steal her away for myself.

*Kissing My Brother’s Bride is Book 1 of the multi-author The Kissing Games series.

Review – Liars Like Us by J.T. Geissinger

Liars Like Us; Morally Gray #1
(#1 within a series)

Publication Date: May 25, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Antihero/Billionaire//Marriage of Convenience/Contemporary Romance

Author: J.T. Geissinger

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Liars Like Us is a book I couldn’t put down once I started. It’s filled with tons of steam and a great moments that made me laugh out loud. Plus, to put the decadent cherry on this delicious cake, Callum McCord is intense, fascinating, and an obsessive billionaire that I completely fell for.

Emery’s life is falling apart around her. The bookstore that her father began is on the brink of closing, her rent is increasing, and that is just the beginning of her problems. Emery has no idea how to dig herself out of the hole she’s in, but when a mysterious billionaire offers to basically solve her problems, Emery begins to wonder if she’s on a reality show waiting for the punch line because mysterious men offering to be her white knight is not her reality. Emery is super sassy, with a huge heart for those in her close circle. She makes this book a ton of fun to read and that is only part of why I loved it.

Liars Like Us is witty and drenched in a ton of intrigue. Callum rolls into Emery’s life under this cloud of mystery and only gives Emery bits and pieces of his life that is pertinent to the right now. He dishes her only what he needs to and mostly it is centered around his urgent need of why he needs her in his life. Callum never expands beyond the present and he’s very good at changing direction or distracting Emery so she doesn’t notice until later that she actually doesn’t know him at all. I will say though in either her defense or perhaps in opposition, either way, Emery is super sassy and never wanted to listen, but as the story progressed, there was purpose to the enigmatic Callum and his distraction was intent-full. He wanted to wait to give answers to Emery at the exact right time, like I said…he’s full of mystery.

The book is told completely from Emery’s point of view, which also helped keep Callum in his cloud of intrigue. She is super sarcastic and never failed to speak her mind, and I loved her sassy wit, which is one of the things that drew Callum to her as well. While instantly being drawn to him, her sense held him at bay, but what else do you do when a billionaire propositions you and life seems to point at all signs of saying yes?

Synopsis:
A young woman on the verge of bankruptcy.
A mysterious billionaire with an offer that will change her life.
An obsession so powerful, it could destroy them both.

Sex
Lies
Secrets
Passion

What Callum McCord wants, he takes.
No matter what he has to do to get it.

~~~~~~~~~~

Author’s note: Liars Like Us is a standalone marriage of convenience romance with an obsessive & possessive morally gray hero and spicy bedroom scenes intended for mature readers only.

Blog Tour – Neutral Zone by Teagan Hunter

He’s a shy hockey heartthrob.
She’s not afraid to ask for what she wants.
Can these two find a neutral zone?


Neutral Zone by Teagan Hunter is now live! 

To my fans, I’m known as Ivan Fitzgerald.

To my teammates, I’m just Fitz.

And to the girl I’ve been talking to online, I’m ShootsAndScores.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the woman on the other side of the screen is completely out of my league. Why wouldn’t she be? Sure, I’m a professional hockey player, but that doesn’t mean anything when I’m shy and awkward in the most basic social situations and she’s a fiery vixen who oozes sex appeal.

No matter how badly I want her, I can’t have her. Because the woman I love watching so much? The one I might be slowly falling for?

She’s not just some stranger on the internet. It’s Rosie, the woman who serves me coffee and donuts every morning.

And she has no clue it’s me.

Review – An Armored Heart by R.C. Boldt

An Armored Heart
(standalone)

Publication Date: May 23, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Contemporary/Opposites Attract/Fake Dating/Millionaire Romance

Author: R.C. Boldt

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
This book melted my heart and brought tears of absolute joy to my eyes by the very end. I swooned, I laughed, and I fell hard for theTin Man”.

Ella Marchetti is a total spitfire and I LOVED her!!! Her comebacks and tenacity were utterly fantastic! Agreeing to fake date Steele Cunningham to save her family restaurant gave her gumption and nerves of steel to face Mr. Cunningham’s family and mean spirited ex-girlfriend. Ella had me giggling hysterically with all of her amazing jabs and quips. She is top quality, BFF girlfriend material. 💗

Steele was in a whirlwind of basically not knowing what to do the moment Ella stepped into his office. Yes, he came off all aloof and cold, a tin man as Ella called him, but once his armored heart starts to unclink, he becomes defenseless against her wit and snark. I too was helpless, like Ella, and fell for the man with the cold, tin heart.

The battle of wills, not to mention the agreement they have in place, ramps up the chemistry between these two and makes for one very heart pounding and steamy read. Plus, I was totally fanning myself, and needed several change of panties while reading because Mr. Cunningham is one hot, dirty talker. 🔥🔥

This book is crazy good! Funny, emotional, wicked hot, with a great plot from start to finish.

Synopsis:
RULE #1: Do NOT catch feelings for the man who doesn’t believe in love.

Four months. That’s how long I’ll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham’s doting girlfriend.

I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He’s doing it because he needs someone outside his “social circle” to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.

Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele’s ego rivals his net worth.

Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

He’s a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there’s no chance he’ll ever love me.

He can’t.

After all, he’s the man with an armored heart.

Review – Neutral Zone by Teagan Hunter

Neutral Zone; Comets #7
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: May 18, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Contemporary/Sports/Opposites Attract Romance

Author: Teagan Hunter

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Big, tough hockey player who is shy, blushes, and is a little bit naughty…oh my, Fitz, you completely stole my heart.

Rosie is sweet, tough, and also a bit of a hot mess, but she is the kryptonite to Fitz’s voyeuristic tendencies and I totally loved her character. Rosie is the salty to Fitz’s sweet which made a perfect blend, both in and out of the bedroom, for this new couple in the Comets world.

Fitz’s duality of shy guy and aggressive hockey player was incredibly endearing. His down home, raised by his mama right, sweet side is toothacheingly nice. And speaking of teeth- or missing one in particular- Rosie is enamored by Fitz’s toothless smile. Yeah, these two are just too cute.

Now, let’s talk about his naughty side. The one he keeps to himself, sort of. Rosie plays a big part in his fantasy kink and I love this side of both Fitz and Rosie. Talk about empowerment to both of them. 😍

This book is truly the best of both adorable and naughty. I loved this continual mash up that walked the line along with lots of moments where the other couples popped up or stopped in to give advice to this blushing or tongue tied couple.

Neutral Zone is both seriously cute and hot all wrapped into one book.

Synopsis:
To my fans, I’m known as Ivan Fitzgerald.
To my teammates, I’m just Fitz.
And to the girl I’ve been talking to online, I’m ShootsAndScores.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the woman on the other side of the screen is completely out of my league. Why wouldn’t she be? Sure, I’m a professional hockey player, but that doesn’t mean anything when I’m shy and awkward in the most basic social situations and she’s a fiery vixen who oozes sex appeal.

Amara
Tyler Collins has always been the object of my affection. He just doesn’t know it.
I’ve spent years admiring him, fantasizing about him, but never once making a move.
That is until I see him across the room, already a few beers in and drunkenly decide to press my lips to his. One minute I’m sharing a drink with a friend, and the next, I’m Kissing My Crush.
Now I’m trapped at a beautiful resort with the man I so desperately want to avoid, to celebrate the nuptials of our dear friends.
I can feel his eyes on me. He’s watching. Waiting for what I’m not sure. The fear of rejection is too strong for me to mention the kiss. That night is on constant replay in my mind. I often wonder how he would react if I could confess that to me, our kiss was not a drunken mistake.
Tyler
Quiet, sweet Amara, the one woman I never expected to crave and the one I can’t seem to shake. One unexpected kiss, and now all I can think about is her lips pressed to mine.
I’ve managed to avoid attachments, keeping things casual and enjoying one day at a time. Yet, a timid blonde marches across a hazy bar and grabs hold of my hair, giving me the kiss that changes it all. Changes me.
She wants to pretend it never happened, but I never was much for playing games. She might want me to believe the kiss was forgettable, but we both know better. Hands down the hottest kiss of my life.
That moment with her wasn’t nothing. It was everything.
It was the turning point and the start of something I know without a doubt will be more than we both ever could have expected.

Review – Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison

Lovelight Farms; Lovelight #1
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: June 6, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Friends-to-Lovers/Holiday/Fake Relationship Romance

Author: B.K. Borison

Review Rating: 3.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
This is a friends to lovers with a holiday theme and fake dating thrown in to boot.

I tried to love this book, but I didn’t seem to connect with it the way other people did. I love a good friends to lovers trope, I also love a good fake dating book, they both have their pitfalls and awkward moments that usually lead to the characters opening up or great nekky times. However, Luka and Stella just felt awkward from the get go. While I did sense Luka liked Stella, there wasn’t that instant chemistry that usually drives these kinds of tropes, at least what I’m normally used to reading.

The story revolves around Stella’s dilapidated farm and how Stella is hoping that one Instagram influencer is going to hopefully revive it when she -cross fingers- wins a contest. That’s a lot of pressure all the way around, but add in that Stella lied on her application saying she runs the farm with her boyfriend. This is where Luka comes into the picture since they’ve been friends for years. Also, don’t get me started on the friends, but they seem to lack talking topic…

I’m just going to say, this felt more like Woman’s Lit with a touch of romance and honestly, in today’s world, it probably would have been a better story if the book leaned more into empowering women to run a business instead of forcing this idea that women need a man to fake their way into winning a competition. Trust me, I’m all about people finding love and I like that Luka and Stella eventually find their way to it, but the plot didn’t thrill me.

Synopsis:

Two best friends fake date to reach their holiday happily ever after in this first romantic comedy in the Lovelight series.

A pasture of dead trees. A hostile takeover of the Santa barn by a family of raccoons. And shipments that have mysteriously gone missing. Lovelight Farms is not the magical winter wonderland of Stella Bloom’s dreams.

In an effort to save the Christmas tree farm she’s loved since she was a kid, Stella enters a contest with Instagram-famous influencer Evelyn St. James. With the added publicity and the $100,000 cash prize, Stella might just be able to save the farm from its financial woes. There’s just one problem. To make the farm seem like a romantic destination for the holidays, she lied on her application and said she owns Lovelight Farms with her boyfriend. Only…there is no boyfriend.

Enter best friend Luka Peters. He just stopped by for some hot chocolate and somehow got a farm and a serious girlfriend in the process. But fake dating his best friend might be the best Christmas present he’s ever received.

Blog Tour – Hacker In Love by Lauren Rowe

HACKER IN LOVE

Lauren Rowe

Release Date: May 5

Secrets. Everybody’s got ‘em, including me. Especially me.

The difference is mine will never be revealed, whereas I can easily get yours, assuming the price offered by your enemy is right and the scales of justice appeal to my personal standards of ethics. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. The thing that’s not so easy for a shy guy like me? Finding Ms. Right and locking her down.

Speaking of Ms. Right, the very night I was set up with Hannah Milliken by our mutual friend, I knew I’d one day kneel before her with a ring in hand. Hannah’s the kind of girl who’ll gleefully dance like a gorilla with me in the coolest nightclub or belt out a karaoke duet from Grease like her very life depends on it. She’s gorgeous, too. Funny and smart. And she even wears librarian glasses. See? Perfect.

I don’t doubt Hannah’s the one for me. Indubitably, she is. I only wonder how a dork like me could possibly land a goddess like her.

Unfortunately, when catastrophe strikes, all my questions are rendered moot. Now that Hannah knows the truth about me not actually working in cybersecurity—as well as the questionable things I’ve done to win her over—will I lose my dream girl forever, or is there still a chance for us to chase our happily ever after?

Hacker in Love is a steamy, funny, heart-pounding, standalone contemporary romance with a whole lot of feels, laughs, spice, and swoons by USA Today and internationally bestselling romance author Lauren Rowe.

Review – The Sneak Peak by Victoria Wilder

The Sneak Peak; Subtitle #3
(standalone within a series)

Publication Date: May 12, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Age Gap/Single Dad/Friends to Lovers Romance

Author: Victoria Wilder

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A lovely friends to lovers story with well written real life issues and experiences.

Michael Riggs is a single father of two six year old twins, Sammy and Miles. An adorable boy and girl who light up the pages. Gracie has had a long term crush on Michael for years, but luckily has been able to keep it in check while being his best friend.

They sort of work together, she’s a physical therapist and Michael’s family owns a sports company where many high caliber athletes train, hence these two spend a lot of time together both in and outside of work.

They know pretty much everything about one another, including Michael’s several case of anxiety, which Grace handles like a pro. She’s been there when Michael needs someone- whether it’s with his overwhelming panic attacks, or when he needs a hand with his kids. In fact, if it wasn’t for the line that he’d set between them years before Gracie would probably already be more in their lives, but instead she’s there whenever and however she can.

Grace has had a huge crush on Michael since she was a teenager and while Michael may be twelve years her senior and already a father of two, that has never held her feelings back.

When Grace finally sets down the gauntlet on moving forward or staying friendzoned, that line that Michael drew years ago begins to blur. He doesn’t want to take away anything from her by cutting off any of her youthful choices, but he also doesn’t want to lose her.

Michael suffers from terrible anxiety and I love how the author writes about his condition and how he seeks treatment for it. It was never brushed under the rug or glossed over.

Gracie is definitely the sunshiny one of the couple, which is cute. Seeing her with Michael’s kids is adorable and then watching her with him is just down right steamy. The dirty talk and nekky times…oh my…these two are hot!

This was my first book by Victoria Wilder and it was a very enjoyable read.

Synopsis:
My Best Friend. Young. Tempting.

She bid on me at my company’s charity auction and won. Back then, she was too young, with hearts in her eyes and her whole life ahead of her. That’s how we started, and after all this time, she’s become my best friend.

Being a single dad of twins and running Colorado’s most successful summer sports company requires control and focus. Both of which are slipping through my fingers.

I just crashed her date and watched her kiss another man. The whole time her eyes were on me.

Now, she’s living in my house, nannying my kids for the summer, and saying she wants to “explore” things that drip with the kind of filthy curiosity that I crave.

I don’t want her to have anyone else, but I know it’ll change us if I take what I want. And, if we destroy our friendship, it’ll ruin me. Or worse, end up breaking my kid’s hearts and hers.

Blog Tour – Saving the Single Dad by Ashley Muñoz

“Be sure you’re ready to stay…once you step through that door, that’s it. You’re mine.”

Saving the Single Dad, an all-new heat-filled, single dad, small-town standalone romance in the Mount Macon Series from bestselling author Ashley Munoz is live now!

Being a nanny for three girls who belong to a grumpy boxing legend was not on my list of plans when I followed my brother to Macon, Oregon.

I went from ruling the boardroom to baking cupcakes in the blink of an eye. 

And aside from a few mishaps and seemingly always upsetting their dad, it oddly fits me better than anything else I’ve ever done.

Until Liam put everything into question. 

Bossy, broody, and rude, he’s twelve years older than me, and a force–An annoyingly overprotective wall of muscle and ink. 

But behind that perpetual scowl on his face was something deeper…worry and fear that no one saw him carry.

I wanted to help him.

But Liam Croft doesn’t want my help…

He just wants me.

I gave in to his touch, surrendered to our desire, and handed him my heart. 

It was reckless and maybe even a little stupid…Because I want to rescue Liam Croft…

Even if saving him means losing him.

Review – A Love Catastrophe by Helena Hunting

A Love Catastrophe
(standalone)

Publication Date: June 13, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Opposites Attract/Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy

Author: Helena Hunting

Review Rating: 4.0 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
While I loved Kitty and everything she did and stood for, because hello!!! Cats and kittens…I was won over on her from beginning. She’s punny and witty and I would basically be her in another life. Miles however, I wavered back and forth on. His lack of kitty love had me wavering out, but then he’d be very self aware of his d-baggery which drew me back in. However, the two of them together…I wasn’t quite so sold on.

Once Miles opens up and Kitty gives what seems like multiple chances to open up, their opposites attraction does come through, but it took a huge effort to get there. It left me wondering if after the shine wore off if they would make it for the long haul.

Synopsis:
The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com by the New York Times bestselling author of Meet Cute.

Kitty Hart has become internet famous as the Kitty Whisperer for her expertise on all things feline, and as a result, her cat-sitting business is booming. But lately, she has a terrible feeling that maybe her life isn’t quite going where it’s supposed to—especially after falling face-first into her newest client. Not exactly the best first impression.

Fortunately, Miles Thorn is just as bad at first impressions. Strike one: he doesn’t like cats, especially Prince Francis, the haughty and mischievous Sphynx his mom left in his care. Strike two: tackling Kitty to the floor in a misguided attempt to save the pet he continually calls “the gremlin.”

As awkwardness slides into attraction and things start to turn purr-sonal, will these two complete opposites ever be able to find their furry-tail ending?

Hacker in Love
(standalone)

Publication Date: May 5, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Contemporary Romance/Instalove

Author: Lauren Rowe

Review Rating: 4.5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Peter “Henn” Hennessey and Hannah Milliken meet through mutual friends and hit it off like cheese and macaroni, or two peas in a pod and it’s pretty much love at first date, but they are both smart enough to slow it down, sort of.

I’m going to admit, I wasn’t always crazy about their mutual friends. Most times they kind of grated on my nerves, but brushing them aside Henn and Hannah were very cute together. Both Henn and Hannah are nerdy in their own rights. Henn is a computer hacker and yet still loves romcoms and karaoke. Hannah works in PR and while she isn’t a computer geek, she is the female version of Henn on every other topic. They truly seem perfect for one another as long as Henn stops keeping secrets about what Henn does for a living.

While Henn is adorably geeky and totally sweet, what he actually does for a living is a morally gray area. As a hacker he may not actually hurt anyone, but he also doesn’t acquire things or do most things legally. I mean that is what hacking is, but Henn isn’t exactly upfront about what he does and then Hannah has a way of romanticizing the small bits he does admit to. In a nutshell, I understood why Henn held back and when a relationship is new I completely understood why Hannah glossed over the corrupt parts of his job. If there was any part of their relationship that I didn’t like it was when Hannah pushed Henn into giving up his secrets just to appease her curiosity. He was upfront with her numerous times that his job required NDA’s and keeping secrets. It felt childish and emotionally manipulative, but Henn always gave in because he was so blindly in love with her. Luckily it didn’t spoil the story and I did like these two together.

Overall, this was an interesting book to read. It was filled with a ton of cheesy lines, steamy romance, and some morally gray areas. I loved Henn and Hannah together and it gave an interesting look into the life of a hacker with a quirky romance between two unique individuals.

Review – Saving the Single Dad by Ashley Muñoz

Saving the Single Dad; Mount Macon #3
(Standalone within an interconnected series)

Publication Date: April 27, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Contemporary/Close Proximity/Nanny-Single Dad/Small Town/Age-Gap Romance

Author: Ashley Muñoz

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
OH MY HEART!!! Haley, Liam, AND Maddy, Mila, and Seraph (because their family wouldn’t be complete without those precious children) completely melted my heart, made me cry so many times, and made me feel a part of something so precious…it was like being part of their family.

The story begins with a brief look at Haley as a young teen and the lonely childhood she had (broke my heart). Fast forward to the present and she turned that loneliness into a kind heart with a sharp mind who is the absolute best person to step into Liam’s life to look after his children. The moment when Haley talks to Maddy about how not everyone is cut out to be a mom…yeah, I needed serious tissues 😭 Sometimes having a garbage mom means you are the best fit because you can relate and you ultimately know what not to do.

So many feels. 😭🥰

Haley may have her doubts, but she never voices them, but instead tackles hardship head on and loves with her whole heart. Those girls become her entire world and it’s only seconday that she falls for their father.

Be still my heart. It stole Liam’s too. Someone who loved his girls as much as he did. Someone who put his girls first. He didn’t stand a chance against Haley.

Liam Croft owns a gym, a logical choice after his boxing days, but it was about go under if he doesn’t get some financial help. While he took up Haley’s offer to watch his children, he was too prideful to take anything else.

You see, Haley may be young, but she’s a shrewd business woman and is the one who helped her brother out when his business needed it, but Liam refuses to go down that path with her. As he sees it, Haley can nanny his kids, rearrange his home, but his business is just that, his business. How can he be the man in her life if she’s supporting everything in it?

Could Liam’s pride be the end to their new family? Cue the tears…

Both Liam’s and Haley’s stories have been building since Liam is best friends with Colson and Haley is Colson’s sister. Colson and Nora just had their HEA where Haley actually begins watching Maddy, Mila, and Seraph, but this book also reads as a standalone quite nicely, even though both couples make appearances in this story too.

Saving the Single Dad is emotional, super steamy, and absolute-heart-melting perfection!!

Synopsis:
Being a nanny for three little girls who belong to a grumpy boxing legend was not on my list of plans when I followed my brother to Macon, Oregon.

But the three little girls stole my heart instantly and their dad…well, we worked out a deal.

One that I shouldn’t have asked for.

One he shouldn’t have agreed to…

This is Book Three in the Mount Macon series.

Publication Date: April 13, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Contemporary/Second Chance/Single Mom Romance

Author: Ivy Smoak

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Fantastically filthy, funny, and full of second chances.

Nigel and Tanner of course add the comic relief that was perfectly intermixed in the heavy hitting second chance romance between Matt and Brooklyn. Yes, everyone is back and stirring up trouble and romance between these two, but after sixteen years they might need a little help.

Emotions are high and both Brooklyn and Matt feel broken with so much time lost. Even if they love one another can they repair what they had?

Even if Mattlyn wasn’t perfect all the time, do you know who is…adorable little Jacob and his sweet “noooo’s” or especially when he’s fighting with Nigel on who the cutest boy is. Basically every precious moment he’s on the page, he’s just too cute, and I loved it!

This entire book, although it did have some very tough emotional moments, was also highly nostalgic. All of the Untouchables were special in Brooklyn’s life so each of them missed her when she was gone. Having her back is not only important to Matt, but to each of the guys and now to their special ladies as they get to know her too.

This book felt very healing for so many characters, plus it was also filthy and really funny. While it took quite a road trip to get to this point, I really enjoyed this book. It’s one of my favorites.

Publication Date: April 13, 2023

Genre/Tropes: Small Town/Grumpy-Sunshine/Single Dad/Intrigue Romance

Author: Tia Louise

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
A sweet, steamy, magical, make you feel right at home kind of romance that I didn’t want to stop reading.

Aiden Stone and Britt Bailey bring this small town romance to life. I loved their long time family rivalries that both of their families still held, which led in part to Aiden’s grouchy personality, but it wasn’t the only thing that contributed to his grumpy backstory, but I won’t give that away.

Then there was Britt’s sweet, smart personality that comes rolling into town and she ignites a flame between them, much to his annoyance, but don’t worry…once that flame is lit it burns hot and bright and it’s haaawwwttt!🔥🔥

Britt’s family believes in magic and all things magical, whereas Britt herself believes in facts and science. It’s why she’s comes back to town to begin with, she’s a forensic photographer and its her brilliant mind that attracts Aiden, possibly along with her brilliant smile when things ignite.

However, his family and hers have never really gotten along, could there really be a future when a huge rift already exists? If you asked Aiden’s son, Owen, then yes there could, he falls instantly for Britt….and BTW Owen is super cute and of course he is the star of the book.

Lastly, the epilogue brought major tears…and I’m really looking forward to more from the sweet little town.

Synopsis:
Aiden Stone is a six-foot-two former Marine with a permanent scowl, dark hair, and dreamy blue eyes.

He’s the oldest of the Stone brothers, and his “by the book” family has battled mine for control of our small town for generations.

The last thing I should do is sleep with him. Or nearly run him down with my truck. Especially since he’s sort-of my new boss…

It doesn’t help that my grandmother (the mayor) is a former magician, and my mom is a psychic (sort-of)… And my dad died in a failed escape-artist attempt (that my mother is convinced was a murder).

Trust me, I know crazy, but I’m just plain ole Britt Bailey, Shania Twain-loving, non-magical forensic photographer. Yes, I take pictures of dead things, but I don’t see them in my bedroom at night.

I only want to see one thing in my bedroom at night, and when I’m called home to help Sheriff Stone on an investigation, he actually stops frowning for a minute, and my teenage fantasies get very real.

It’s a terrible idea. We work together, he’s seven years older than me, he’s a single dad, he hates all things magic, but a little taste, and we can’t say no.

Until the town crime wave turns personal, putting everything on the line, and we’ll need more than a magic bullet to get our happily ever after.

(A LITTLE TASTE is a small-town, grumpy single-dad romance with a touch of light suspense and lots of tasty spice. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

Cover Reveal – An Armored Heart by RC Boldt

RC Boldt has revealed the gorgeous cover for An Armored Heart!

Releasing: May 23, 2023

Cover Design: Hang Le

Four months. That’s how long I’ll need to pretend to be Steele Cunningham’s doting girlfriend.

I agreed to this insanity only to save my restaurant. He’s doing it because he needs someone outside his “social circle” to stick it to his meddling parents and clingy ex.

Ruthless and emotionless in both his personal life and his career, Steele’s ego rivals his net worth.

Operating on joy and positivity—and a healthy bit of feistiness—I challenge him at every step.

He’s a tin man—heartless and cold. Falling for him would be a colossal mistake, because there’s no chance he’ll ever love me.

He can’t.

After all, he’s the man with an armored heart.

https://geni.us/TheSeduction
Available on All Platforms

The Seduction cover: Couple embracing passionately

Everything changed one night in Lake Bittersweet…

Successful model Bliss Gault is known for her smile and her sunshiny attitude. The youngest child of rock legend Steven Gault, everyone sees her as the flaky, flighty member of the family. And why wouldn’t they, when she has a habit of getting in and out of messes by the skin of her teeth? But when she returns to Lake Bittersweet for her sister’s wedding with an international mess in tow…this time, she might be in over her head.

FBI Agent Earl Granger is in Minnesota to help an old Army buddy, using “head of security” for Bliss Gault as his cover. Within seconds of meeting her, the stunning blond is making him crazy with her whimsy and her sage-burning. He’s a gruff, fact-focused professional. There’s no way he’s letting her distract him from his real purpose—discovering the identity of his father. She can save the smiles and seduction act for someone else.

But fate has something very different in store for these two total opposites. From international mayhem to a passion they never saw coming…some seductions are impossible to resist.

Blog Tour – Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake

Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake is now live! 

When a woman returns home to Louisiana’s Butterfly Bayou, her high school crush finally notices she exists, in a small-town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.

Quaid Havery always planned to follow in his father’s footsteps. He went to law school and then came home to take over his dad’s legal practice. Being the only lawyer in small-town Papillon, Quaid is pretty sure he’s seen everything. After all, he was once asked to sue an alligator for defamation of character. He’s prepared for anything the town can throw at him, until he encounters Jayna Cardet. She’s gorgeous, smart, funny, and unlike any woman he’s met before…Except he has.

Jayna never thought she’d return to Papillon, but when her life gets turned around she must learn to live in the close-knit community again. She certainly never dreamed she would practice law in her little town, but she finds herself in the courtroom, and the opposing counsel is her former high school crush, Quaid. It wouldn’t be so bad if the man had developed a beer belly, but Quaid is more handsome than ever. And instead of ignoring her like he did in high school, he’s made it plain that he wants to get to know her.

Thus begins a courtship destined to end in a wedding or a war. Either way, the locals are popping some corn and eagerly awaiting the outcome.
